Scene 2

Setting: As the Old man tells his story. A picture of ship is flying toward a bright green planet

Old Man’s Voice: It was long ago, before colony stations were built in space. I was a young man, who was a crewmember of an exploration ship. We came across a planet of extreme beauty. It was bright green and it glowed in space. My Captain named the planet St. Patrick.

(As the Old Man speaks, the ship lands upon the planet’s green surface. Then the scene goes inside the ship’s conference room. The room is filled with men, who are wearing shiny uniforms of blue and yellow.)

Old Man’s Voice: After the ship landed on the planet’s surface, The Captain called all the crew to the conference room.

Captain: Ladies and Gentleman, I have decided on who will go with me to explore the planet’s surface. First two officers, Lt Rachel, and...

Old Mans Voice: She was a very beautiful woman I might add.

Captain: ... Science Officer Clark. Six Crewmembers, Lumm, Starr, Becker, Ricks, Ellis, and...

Old Mans Voice: My heart was pumping fast as the Captain called out the sixth name.

Captain: ... Tucker.

Old Mans Voice: To say the least, I was overjoyed. Not only did I want to explore the planet’s surface, but to be with Lt.Rachel. We were secretly in love.

(The scene fades way. The Old Man and the Waiter appear back at a park bench.

Waiter: Excuse me sir. But it seems that your story is going to be rather long. I have worked all day and I am hungry. Would you come to my apartment, and finish your story there.

Old Man: Please Forgive me. I tend to forget that people of blood and flesh get tired and hungry.

Waiter: Thanks, I really want to hear your story.

(The two stand up from the park bench and start walking down the street. The light fades, ending scene 2.)

More to come.
